Are they being Anti-Semitic, too?

Look like Ariel Sharon's Likud party is losing support in Israel

The crisis was precipitated by Sharon's rejection of Labor Party leader Binyamin Ben-Eliezer's demands to cut $145 million in funds for Jewish settlements in the $57 billion 2003 state budget. Compromise proposals failed and Ben-Eliezer resigned from his post as defense minister, followed by the rest of Labor's Cabinet ministers...."We must fight terror, but this is the day when we have to present a diplomatic horizon," Ben-Eliezer said, referring to peace talks with the Palestinians. "The prime minister is unable to present a diplomatic horizon."

You know, honestly, I've grown very cynical about the whole Israeli/Palestinian "dispute". I'm beginning to feel as though we should just all get together, hold a giant worldwide tribal council meeting and vote both sides off the island.
